GEAR-HOPPER-GB SPARE PART (BEF

A gear or cogwheel is a rotating machine part having cut teeth or, in the case of a cogwheel, inserted teeth (called cogs), which mesh with another toothed part to transmit torque. Geared devices can change the speed, torque, and direction of a power source. Gears almost always produce a change in torque, creating a mechanical advantage, through their gear ratio, and thus may be considered a simple machine. The teeth on the two meshing gears all have the same shape. Two or more meshing gears, working in a sequence, are called a gear train or a transmission. A gear can mesh with a linear toothed part, called a rack, producing translation instead of rotation.

A hopper is a storage container used to dispense liquids or solids through the use of a chute or tube to restrict flow, sometimes assisted by mechanical agitation or a pump.  A hopper may be refrigerated or heated.
